Destination management: the influence of local food
(Sciendo, 2021-01-29)This study investigates tourist attitudes to local food on destination choice, travel motivation, satisfaction and perceived object-related and existential authenticity. Additionally, the mediating effects of authenticity ... -
Using the biocheck.ugent™ scoring tool in Irish farrow-to-finish pig farms: assessing biosecurity and its relation to productive performance
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019-03-01)Background Biosecurity is one of the main factors affecting disease occurrence and antimicrobial use, and it is associated with performance in pig production. However, the importance of specific measures could vary depending ... -
Preparation of random and graft copolymers of GMA and MMA using reactive melt mixing and solution polymerization
(Amirkabir University, 2020-12-23)In this study Poly(MMA-g-GMA) copolymers was prepared via reactive melt mixing of Poly (methyl methacrylate) PMMA and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as initiators. ... -

(Brill Academic Publishers, 2020-05)A history and examination of the of the collecting and curation of the historic record of the Jesuits within the order from 1814. -
Older adult insights for age friendly environments, products and service systems
(Loughborough University, 2018-05)The environments we grow old in present a challenge to be adaptive to our changing needs and limitations. Environments, in the context of this paper, are the spaces, products and product service systems that we engage with, ... -
Creating an intergenerational university hub: engaging older and younger users in the shaping of space and place.
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2019-02)Intergenerational initiatives in post-secondary settings have demonstrated health and social benefits. However, there is a lack of detail with regard to the process by which such initiatives are conceptualized and the role ... -
Super toughening of PLA through blending with SEBS and nano-clay
(Amirkabir University, 2020-12-23)Polylactic acid (PLA) is known as a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer that shows brittle behavior during the tensile strength test. Mixing has always been one of the most cost-effective ways to improve the properties ... -
Improvement of rheological and mechanical properties of PLA by reactive blending with Poly(MMA-g-GMA)
(Amirkabir University, 2020-12-20)The aim of this study is to improve the melt strength of Polylacticacid (PLA) using methylmethacrylate-g-glycidylmethacrylate copolymers, Poly(MMA-g-GMA), that was synthesized by reactive blending at different weight ... -
Invisible encoded backdoor attack on DNNs using conditional GAN
(IEEE, 2023-02-17)Deep Learning (DL) models deliver superior performance and have achieved remarkable results for classification and vision tasks. However, recent research focuses on exploring these Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) weaknesses ... -
Detached eddy simulation of unsteady flow over a frontal cavity
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2023)Frontal cavity consists of complex unsteadiness which causes bow shock instabilities when the body is moving at supersonic or hypersonic speed through a fluid. These complex unsteady flow fields are an important practical ... -
Effects of freestream disturbances in front of spiked blunt nose at hypersonic flow
(Council of European Aerospace Societies, 2021)The effects of high frequency slow and fast acoustic wave freestream disturbances are modelled in front of pulsating bow shock formed at spiked blunt nose in hypersonic flow. These disturbances are introduced as time-dependent ... -
Numerical study of an aerospike nozzle in retropropulsion
(Council of European Aerospace Societies, 2021)The primary motivation of this numerical study is to explore the feasibility of drag enhancement using aerospike nozzle for retropropulsion in hypersonic flow. An external expansion contoured aerospike nozzle with design ... -
An examination of the diversity of beer and cider products sold in Irish supermarkets in the context of health promotion advice
(Jacobs Verlag, 2022-07-11)Aim: Current health promotion advice relating to the consumption of beer and cider in Ireland is very firmly based on nominal pints and half pints of beer. This study sought to determine if the assumed alcohol strength ... -
Packaging environmental impact on seafood supply chains: a review of life cycle assessment studies
(Wiley, 2022)Packaging is fundamental for food preservation and transportation but generates an environmental burden from its production and end-of-life management. This review evaluates packaging contribution to the environmental ... -
Implications for the seafood industry, consumers and the environment arising from contamination of shellfish with pharmaceuticals, plastics and potentially toxic elements: a case study from Irish waters with a global orientation
(Elsevier, 2022-10-20)Shellfish are a rich source of minerals, B-vitamins and omega-3 to the human diet. The global population is expected to reach 9.6 billion people by 2050 where there will be increased demand for shellfish and for sustained ... -
A circular economy framework for seafood waste valorisation to meet challenges and opportunities for intensive production and sustainability
(Elsevier, 2023)There is a growing concern among societies and consumers over food security and the sustainability of food production systems. For seafood, it has been highly advocated as a healthy food source and its sustainability ... -
